The DICENTIS cannot handle more than one enabled NIC at the same time and this could lead that it choose the wrong NIC and interrupts the system. This will be specially important if you use your own Server. To solve this problem it is necessary to precisely define the DICENTIS NIC. These next few steps will show you how to do that.

The DICENTIS Server has a own log file system which is working in the back ground and is called LogDump. If something went wrong during the operation it will be reported in there. In many times this is a good tool for error analysis as well as fault detection and will often requested by the Technical Support for pre-analysis. In the next Step-by-step guide it will be shown how to extract the LogDump file form DICENTIS Conference System.

If you are facing unknown problems with your DICENTIS wired system and you need advice from the technical support on that we will ask for log files and other information to start our analysis.

In future it is planed to integrate this in our software.

In some cases, especially if you use a 3rd party PC as DICENTIS Server, it could be necessary to update your network driver.

Be aware that a normal Windows Update will not refresh this driver and you have to update it manually!
